It's the day for a new challenge over at FarmQuest Country Christmas where our theme is always "Anything Country Christmas Goes." We want to see outdoor Christmas scenes or decorations on the farmhouse, or nearly anything that is both Christmas and outdoorsy, but not big city streets or shopping malls or cityscapes.
I chose this clip art image with three gnomes on the Christmas Tree Farm. I don't know the artist but if you do, please let me know. I love to give proper credit where possible. I colored the image with my Sanjoki markers, added highlights to their beards with a white gel pen, and cut the image with an old QuicKutz die. I love the shape of it. I inked the edges in red, then layered it onto a background of glittery, golden holly leaves. That CS came from Paper Studios and the dp strip along the right hand side is a scrap from a DCWV stack.
The glittery golden bow is from K & Co. and I thought it added exactly the proper amount of sparkle and glitz. I admit, when it's Christmas, glitter is my absolute favorite and when it's combined with gold, that takes it over the top! The sparkle adds so much to the festive feel of the holiday. :-D
